The best time to visit Gujarat is during November to February, during the winter months, when the weather is much more pleasant than the summers, when the heat can sometimes get unbearable enough to interfere with sightseeing.

Although the best season to visit Gujarat is considered the winters, monsoons can also be a good enough season to enjoy the lush greenery all around. However, sometimes, the monsoon play spoilsport with going out and exploring the area to your heart’s content. Gujarat is a jewel in India’s crown, and deserves to be explored fully, so whatever season you plan your Gujarat trip for and whenever you land up in the state, make sure to visit all the major attractions and natural wonders of the place.

The best time to visit Dwarka and Somnath is the winter season. The best time to visit Dwarkadish Temple is early morning from 7 am to 9 am. The queue gets longer as the day progresses. Weather in Dwarka is pleasant during winters. The daytime temperature in Dwarka in December through February is ideal for sightseeing.

Climate in Gujarat

Summer Season in Gujarat

The summer season in Gujarat lasts from March to June, with the temperature staying within 29°C to 41°C. The blistering hot months ensure that stepping out becomes a major hassle, so sightseeing, especially in the cities where the cover of lush greenery is not available. Humid and sunny, the summers are ideal if you are looking to spend time at the only hill station of the state: Saputara, which enjoys salubrious climate almost all across the year. If you do not plan on spending a lot of time outside, then places such as Dwarka and Vadodara are also ideal, where you can visit the temples and other attractions during the night as well. All in all, try to avoid the summer season as a good time to visit here.

Monsoon Season in Gujarat

The monsoon season lasts from July to September, with the temperature ranging from 27°C to 35°C. These rainy months wash the state anew with a fresh tint of green, covering everything in a canopy of vibrancy. What could be better than watching rain fall on the already roiling sea? Spending some time in a wildlife sanctuary whilst the animals are out to dry themselves from the preceding rains is also something to look forward to. And what could be better than sampling the delicious fiery cuisine of Gujarat, after getting soaked in a thunderstorm?

Winter Season in Gujarat

The winter season in Gujarat lasts from the month of November to February, with the temperature ranging from 12°C to 29°C. The winter months are much more comfortable for people to enjoy roaming around, and enjoy a bout of sightseeing. The beach areas might be a little too cold for comfort in the winter months, but the entire state is a lot more pleasant. That’s not to say that the beach areas cannot be visited during winters, in fact soaking up the sun during the cold months seem like a divine idea. No wonder they say that the winter is the best season to visit Gujarat.
